First of all, I would like to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!  Hope that you enjoy your time with family and friends over the holiday season!  It is so hard to believe that half of the school year has already passed us by.  As a teacher, this is when I always start to panic as I realize that I only have about 5 more months with these students to help prepare them for their next level of education!  We still need to learn all of our cursive letters, the important topics of telling time and counting money, work on a variety of writing formats, and most importantly continue to develop that very valuable love of reading!  Keep reading everyone……even over Christmas break!
